Lenovo has used the platform of the 2015 International Consumer Electronics Show to launch its ThinkPad 2015 product portfolio.
Featuring the latest generation ThinkPad X1 Carbon, the world’s lightest 14-inch performance ultrabook, the brand celebrates 100-million units shipped and continues to build on its unique heritage enjoyed by loyal and passionate fans around the world.
Lenovo also introduced the ThinkVision X24 monitor, bringing ultra-thin IPS panel technology to the computing workspace, and ThinkPad Stack, a unique power bank that offers mix and match interlocking accessories to maximise productivity and minimise clutter.
“Since the original ThinkPad 700, ThinkPad engineers have continued to drive innovation by making each new ThinkPad better than the last. Reaching 100 million units sold proves they are succeeding,” says Yang Yuanqing, chairman and CEO, Lenovo.
“When we acquired IBM’s PC business, we made a promise to not just protect the ThinkPad franchise, but to make it even better, even stronger. Today, ThinkPad continues to be one of the most respected brands in the industry, fuelling Lenovo’s rise to number one in the global PC industry.
“Now, even as Lenovo expands into mobile devices, servers, and ecosystem and cloud computing, ThinkPad will remain at the core of our strategy and the heart of our business. It is an honour to continue to bring this legendary brand to our customers, and we look forward to many more ThinkPad milestones to come.”
The third generation state-of-the-art X1 Carbon continues the tradition of ThinkPad brand equity. The lightest 1-inch performance ultrabook in the world features new options like a super bright FHD display for the best viewing experience and a PCIe solid state drive for up to 80% faster storage performance than standard SSDs.
The newest X1 Carbon is also the most mobile ever, with even longer battery life and still weighing under 1,3kg with a durable and rugged carbon-forged chassis. Coupled with 5th Generation Intel Core processors and a whole suite of accessories to optimise the experience, the X1 Carbon permeates the ThinkPad heritage and continues to inspire relentless innovation.
The 7,5mm thin ThinkVision X24 could be the centrepiece of any desk space. Featuring a next generation Neo Blade 23,8-inch panel, the X24 also includes a unique pre-coated metal surface technology in place of a traditional rear cover enhancing the premium design.
The IPS panel highlights include Full HD resolution with a wide 178-degree viewing angle and DisplayPort or HDMI digital connectivity. The stylish and sturdy chrome stand is tilt-adjustable for ergonomic viewing complete a superlative display experience, both in performance and design experience.
Through Lenovo’s interlocking design, the need for multiple adapters and cables for charging multiple devices is virtually eliminated. More portable, fewer cables, and extra features mean ThinkPad Stack accessories are made for mobility. Through a magnetised interlocking design, multiple Stack accessories take up less space and store more cleanly than traditional options. Pogo pin technology also allows each accessory to work better together.
The 10 000mAh Power Bank keep phones and tablets powered up on long trips, the 1Tb USB 3.0 Hard Drive offers huge expansion on the road, the Wireless Access Point ensures a strong and stable WiFi environment while travelling and the Bluetooth Speaker pairs seamlessly with ThinkPad systems to extend audio playback.
